hi,all
  I am reading code about pci, and I can't understand some lines in
pci_check_direct(), in arch/i386/kernel/pci-pc.c
the PCI spec v2.0 say: ( page32)
"Anytime a host bridge sees a full DWORD I/O write from the host to
CONFIG_ADDRESS, the bridge must latch the data into its CONFIG_ADDRESS
register. On full DWORD I/O reads to CONFIG_ADDRESS,the bridge must return 
the
data in CONFIG_ADDRESS. Any other types of accesses to this 
address(non-DWORD)
have no effect on CONFIG_ADDRESS and are excuted as normal I/O transaction 
on PCI bus......"
CONFIG_ADDRESS = 0xcf8
CONFIG_data = 0xcfc
so , I wonder why need "outb (0x01, 0xCFB);" if check configuration type 1 ? 
and why "outb (0x00, 0xCFB);" if check configuration type 2?
  please help me, thanks a lot.
